[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are you?

I'm not as short, but have found that from age 23 to 33 my plateau has increased 20 lbs. Even starving myself and working out every day I would be unable to reach that target weight.[/quote]

I’m 23. I found that during my teenage years I was eating the same and had the same habits and wouldn’t gain weight. [/quote]

I mean...that's kind of normal? I was 5'5 and 105 lbs as a teenager and into my 20s. After 30 is a whole different ballgame. You're 23 now? I'm confused by the 23-33 20 lbs. [/quote]

It's totally normal to have your plateau weight adjust upwards as you get older.  I'm 5'5" - when I was in college I kept my weight between 115-120.  By my late 20's my plateau weight had a gradually increased to 135-142.  By my late 30's/early 40's my weight had bumped up even more.

I'm now in my mid 50's and 150 is about as low as I want to go.  I would look positively sick if I starved myself back down to 115-120 (and I would have to starve myself to get down that low).  I do work out and I'm active, in decent health, no real aches and pains so I feel pretty good.  I'm just not a kid anymore.[/quote]
